The Kingston Trio

The Kingston Trio is an American folk and pop music group that helped launch the folk revival of the late 1950s to late 1960s. The group started as a San Francisco Bay Area nightclub act with an original lineup of Dave Guard, Bob Shane, and Nick Reynolds. It rose to international popularity, fueled by unprecedented sales of 33⅓ rpm long-playing record albums (LPs), and helped to alter the direction of popular music in the U.S. more »

Buddy, better get on down the line
Buddy, better get on down the line,
Here comes ninety-seven,
Making up some time
Buddy, this is ninety-seven at your back
Got a ton of coal poured down the stack
Here comes ninety-seven, runnin' down the track

Hey, hey, pretty baby, hey, hey
Baby, now don't get in my way
When I'm in town, you call me sugar, honey
When I'm gone, just run around and play

Buddy, better get on down the line
Buddy, better get on down the line,
Here comes ninety-seven,
Comin' in on time
Met a lot of weather early today
Makin' up an hour and a quarter delay
Here comes ninety-seven, roarin' all the way

Roll on, pretty baby, roll on
You know you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You mess around too long and now I'm leavin'
Bye-bye, adios, farewell, so long

Buddy, better get on down the line
Buddy, better get on down the line,
Here comes ninety-seven,
Making up some time
Buddy, this is ninety-seven at your back
Got a ton of coal poured down the stack
Here comes ninety-seven, runnin' down the track

Buddy, better get on down the line
Buddy, better get on down the line,
Here comes ninety-seven,
Making up some time
Buddy, this is ninety-seven at your back
Got a ton of coal poured down the stack
Here comes ninety-seven, runnin' down the track
